Legend : "*" = New "+" = Change "-" = Fix --- What's new in Zoom Player v18 beta 4: New : * The IPTV auto-updating EPG and Stream List downloads can now handle ".zip" and ".gz" archive URLs (e.g. "https://website.com/epg.zip"). * New Filter EPG feature on the IPTV interface. * New IPTV setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) that controls the EPG font size. * New IPTV setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) to control whether the EPG filter checks program description or only the program's title. * New "Custom Action" button on the main window (near the top-left) that allows you to set any standard Zoom Player function to the button. By default this button opens the new IPTV interface. * New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface) that allows you to assign a function to the new "Custom Action" button. Fixes : - The IPTV interface should feel a bit smoother (less flickering). - In the media library's category editor, specifying a category name containing unicode characters would not highlight the entry in the category list after clicking. - Media Title containing certain unicode characters (e.g. emoji) did not show when loading some playlist formats (m3u, asx, b4s, wpl). --- What's new in Zoom Player v18 beta 3: New : * The IPTV interface now supports automatically downloading stream lists and electronic program guide URLs every specified number of days. * IPTV Stream icons are now downloaded automatically. * New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) allowing you to control the Stream's icon size. * New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) allowing you to control whether the Stream's text is resized along with the icon size. * New Setting (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) to ignore grouping and just display the entire stream list. * New Settings (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) to customize the IPTV interface with your own color scheme. Change : + If an IPTV stream list contains mixed information with some streams lacking a group specification, all such streams will now show under an "Unspecified" group. If only one or no groups are specified, grouping is disabled automatically. --- What's new in Zoom Player v18 beta 2: New : * A completely new IPTV (streaming live TV and VOD) interface (Adv. Options / Playback / IPTV) with support for EPG (Electronic Program Guide), Channel Grouping and many customization options. Some features (icons, automated EPG/M3U downloads, etc) are still a work in progress and are not part of this beta. * New setting (enabled by default) to automatically hide the control bar when clicking the video area, making it much easier to quickly hide the control bar. * You can now edit the last play time and date directly from the media library meta-data editor. Fixes : - Using unicode characters in the ISO Auto-Mount command would not save the path properly after restarting Zoom Player. - The Advanced Options "System Sounds" and "Audio" sections did not scroll smoothly when using the scroll bar. --- What's new in Zoom Player v18 beta 1: New : * Two new settings (Adv. Options / Interface / Fullscreen Navigation / Customization) that allow you to override the poster image and backdrop for Movies and TV show categories. The backdrop setting is an easy override, just place a "backdrop.jpg" or "fanart.jpg" in the same folder and Zoom Player will use it automatically. Updating a movie poster image requires you enable the "Do not use scraped image as thumbnail / backdrop" setting for each of the media library's TV or Movie categories, otherwise the poster image will still use the scraped image (due to image-caching maintaining a copy of the old image) and then re-scrape the movie folder.
